Kevin continued his series on Romans 8 today and tackled the question about God's love and hope in a world filled with tragic natural disasters. Romans 8:18-25 shows that natural disasters are a result of sin entering the world, but that God is in control and allows them to happen - verse 20 teaches us that He subjected the world in hope. Just like giving birth to a baby (a thought that crosses my mind quite frequently these days!), the pain leading up to the birth is agonizing, but the joy on the other side is unimaginable. Because of Christ's redemption, we who believe him have this hope - that the "groaning" of the world around us will one day be completely restored to it's original condition - free of pain, death, and filled with amazing fruitfulness.
